Our projects practice is accomplished in structuring, documenting and negotiating projects.  It has a wide range of experience advising on the finance, construction, operation and maintenance aspects of projects across domestic and international jurisdictions.  Currently we are working on projects in the UK and Singapore, Greece and Ireland.

We work closely with project sponsors, lenders, contractors and procuring authorities which means that we understand how each party to a project thinks and the level of risk transfer they can accept.  Frequently clients tell us that our advice is practical and commercial and is based upon the experience of having addressed many of the issues before.

We work in a broad range of sectors, with particular experience in the following areas:

  • Accommodation - including education, healthcare (hospitals, LIFT schemes and treatment centres), key worker accommodation, prisons, social services buildings, social housing and waste
  • Utilities - including supply and distribution and street lighting
  • Regeneration
  • Transportation - including airports, ports, multi-modal, rail and roads
  • Energy - including offshore oil and gas, power plants, combined heat and power schemes and renewables, including wind farms

We also advise on distressed projects and work with our clients to devise and implement successful project restructurings.

We can help you with:

  • Project structuring
  • Procurement
  • Bidding strategies
  • Facilities management and construction
  • Real estate
  • Planning and environment
